Understanding mating and Framing

So, what is mating and framing? Simply put, mating and framing are the processes of choosing and applying a mat board and a frame to a picture, usually a photograph or a print.

A mat board is a thin cardboard that surrounds the picture and creates a border between it and the frame. A frame is a wooden or metal structure that holds the picture and the mat board together and protects them from dust, moisture, and general damage. Professional mating and framing are done by experts like our team at Avant Print and Frame in Kingman, Arizona.
